Srivalli eyes off record books

Srivalli (Joe Mastroianni)

Epping’s Srivalli Singaraju Venkata might only be seven-years-old but she is already a record setter.

The Harvest Home Primary School pupil’s name regularly features in the Australian Book of Records, having set 11 records in the past 12 months.

Some of Srivalli’s achievements include the fastest time to recognise all 118 periodic table elements by symbols, most periodic table elements identified by their symbols and most countries identified by their flag.

She set her first record at six-years-old, answering 50 human body facts in the fastest time.

Dad Kiran said Srivalli began setting records because she wanted to do something different with her school holidays.

“As a family, we are focused towards education. She really enjoys it and she is very enthusiastic,” he said.

The family found out about The Australian Book of Records through friends.

Next, Srivalli is hoping to set the record for identifying all countries by their flags.

In her spare time, Srivalli also enjoys swimming and playing basketball, and hosts her own YouTube channel.
